The Unwanted Husband (Seulrene)

Chapter 8

Seulgi's POV

It's been 3 days since Hyun gave me that massive box of Pringles. Since I can't finish all of that and ayaw ko naman masayang ang pagkain, binigyan ko na sila Seungwan, Lisa, and Jeongyeon. I even gave some to other departments because why not? Sharing is caring. But of course I left some for myself.

I put some in my bedroom, in the kitchen, and even my desk at our office. I haven't see Hyun after that, according to her secretary meron daw itong business trip outside the country for a couple of days. Don't get me wrong, hindi alam ng secretary niya or sino pa mang employees niya that I am her husband.

It just so happens that our department's head goes to Hyun because we need his signature on our proposal kaya nalaman namin.We've been working and brainstorming nonstop since malapit na comeback ng red velvet.

Aseul corp is a entertainment company. Hyun's business trains idols, actor and actress, and promote artists and writers work to an exhibit that is public for all over the world. It is one of the biggest and successful company here in our country.

"Hyung, tara lunch." Lisa said.

I nodded. "Sige mauna na kayo, tatapusin ko lang 'to." I still can't pick for what color should we use for the red velvet's concept. Dalawa naman kami ni Jeongyeon na assigned dito, we have picked colors naman but still, I want this to be perfect.

Red velvet deserves the best, not just ordinary since this group is the most legendary and powerful groups. (Hey, I'm not against other group okay? I'm also a blink and 50/50 once but since this is Seulrene's story I have to put this.)

Inakbayan naman ako ni Lisa. "Baka lumagpas ka na sa roof, Hyung. Ang sipag mo magtrabaho eh, mag rest ka naman unti."

"Nagpapahinga naman ako. I'll just finish this then susunod na ako sa inyo para maglunch. Mauna na kayo." I said.

"Okay sige, we'll just wait for you in the canteen. Baba na ako, Hyung." Lisa said bago lumabas.

"Okay! Pasabi kay Seungwan, orderan niya na rin ako pagkain." Pahabol kong sabi.

10 minutes have past and natapos ko na rin 'yung gingawa ko. Patayo na sana ako para bumaba when my phone vibrate.

'Did you eat lunch, baby?' Napailing na lang ako sa text ni Jennie.

'Not yet. How 'bout u?' I texted back.

'Nope. I was hoping that hindi ka pa kumain ng lunch. Aayain sana kita lumabas. Do you want to eat lunch with me?' She replied.

Do I want to? Pero nasabihan ko na sila Lisa to order me food. Baka masayang if hindi ko kakainin tsaka medyo mahal din ang pagkain dito.

'I'm sorry, maybe next time. My friends are waiting for me to the canteen at naka order na rin ng food. Babawi na lang ako next time. Kumain ka na ah. Eat well!' I feel guilty, pero if sa labas din ako maglulunch baka malate rin ako. Plus my food is waiting, at medyo gutom na rin ako.

'It's okay, I understand. Sabi mo 'yan ah, I'll look forward to it. Eat well too, baby. 😏😘' She replied.

I'm glad she understand. Natawa na lang ako sa emoji. I fix my things first, before I walk to the elevator. Pasakay na sana ako ng elevator when someone call my name.

"Wait huwag ka muna umalis, Mr. Kang!"

I turned to look at the person. Nagulat pa ako when I saw the person. It is Ms. Bae secretary, Im Nayeon.

Hingal na hingal itong nakarating sa'kin. "Te-teka l-lang."

"Inhale Ms. Im then exhale. Okay ka na Ms.?" I asked her. Tumango naman ito bago huminga ng malalim.

"Do you need something po?" I asked.

She nodded. "Pinapatawag ka ni Ms Bae sa office niya. There's something important daw that she needs to discuss with you."

Napakunot ang noo ko. "Why? Alam mo ba kung ano po iyon?" Hindi ko maiwasang mapatanong. She never did that. Alam ko, as much as possible ayaw niyang may nakakakita sa'min. If may kailangan siya sa'min or sa'kin she will always use her secretary to talk to us.

Hindi siya 'yung tipong tatawagin ka to go to her office. According to my other colleague, if may kailangan daw sila kay Ms. Bae hanggang sa labas lang sila ng office niya tapos si Ms. Im na bahala. That's why I ask her, baka may alam siya since para na rin siyang messenger ni Ms Bae.

Umiling naman siya bago tumingin sa'kin. "I'm not Ms. Bae, Mr. Kang." She sarcastically said.

Napakamot naman ako sa kilay. Well, may point siya. "The only thing that she said ay papuntahin kita as soon as possible, dahil kung hindi -" She paused then hold my arm.

"You're fired!" Gaya niya sa sinabi ni Hyun. "Kaya halika na, mahal ko pa trabaho ko." After that she drag me.

"You're lucky at ikaw ang employee na papasukin niya besides me. Kahit nga mga investor or important person sa ibang room niya kinikita." Dagdag pa niya.

Really? Bakit naman kaya? Maybe there's something important or valuable in her office.

Aangal na sana ako pero nakarating na kami sa office niya. "Go inside, Mr. Kang." Sabi niya at tinulak pa ako. Humawak muna ako sa pinto, 'di pa ako ready baka may ginawa na naman akong mali.

"Teka! Huwag mo ako itulak. Let me ready myself first!" Tumigil naman siya at binitawan ang kamay ko.

Lumayo naman siya unti. "Just go inside, alam mo naman ayaw ni Ma'am na pinaghihintay siya."

Huminga muna ako ng malalim bago kumatok. "Come in" I heard she said. Mas lalo tuloy akong kinabahan dahil sa lamig ng boses niya.

Napalunok naman ako bago dahan-dahan buksan ang pinto. "Close the door, lock it." Napakunot naman ang noo ko but I still obey her.

When I look at her, I see that she's writing something. Napatitig ako sa kanya, she never fails to mesmerize me with her beauty. Mukha pa rin siyang fresh at hindi stress.

"Why are you still standing there? Come here." Iritated niyang sabi.

I slowly walk towards her. "Pinapatawag mo raw ako, Ma'am?"

Nahigit ko ang hininga ko ng tumitig siya sa'kin. "Take a seat."

Umupo agad ako sa pang-apat na upuan not too close but also not too far. Nagsalubong naman ang kilay niya at tumingin sa'kin. "Why are you there? Sit here."

She pointed at the nearest chair infront of her table. Tumayo naman ako at alanganin umupo. "Pinapatawag niyo raw po ako?"

Nag-iwas naman ako ng tingin nang titigan niya lang ako. Ramdam ko ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko at pinagpapawisan ang mga kamay ko kaya pinunas ko sa pants ko. I'm becoming uncomfortable, gusto ko na lumabas at kumain.

Naputol ang pagtingin niya sa'kin when my stomach growled. Napapikit naman ako ng mariin, that's embarrassing. "Ahh I'm sorry, gutom lang talaga ako." I apologize.

Yumuko naman siya to get something beside her table. May nilapag naman siya na lunchbox and utensils. Kakain lang naman pala siya, bakit kailangan pa akong tawagin?

"Ah Ms. Bae, bakit niyo ako pina-"

"Eat." Putol niya sa'kin then pushed it towards me. My eyes widened as she said it.

"Pardon?" I asked. Baka nagkamali lang ako ng rinig. She rolled her eyes before she look at me.

"Don't make me repeat myself." Sabi niya before opening the lunchbox.

"Start eating, masamang pinaghihintay ang pagkain."

Okay what's happening?
